Chapter 189: The City of Local Tyrants, Dubai

At 16:05 UAE time, the plane arrived at Dubai International Airport.

Xu Xincheng and Lucy thanked Captain Fan, First Officer Chen and Tiffany at the cabin door for all their efforts and hard work for the smooth and safe arrival.

The two stepped out of the cabin door and entered the covered bridge at Dubai Airport for private jet VIPs, and from the moment they stepped onto the covered bridge, the city of tyrants was in full swing.

This covered bridge is very different from the ordinary airport covered bridge, which is a narrow passage composed of steel frames, transparent tempered glass and rigid steel plate walkways, but the bridge they are on at the moment is a luxury covered bridge that has been decorated with a high-end style.

The covered bridge is about 5 meters high, about 4 meters wide and about 20 meters long, the floor is covered with gorgeous golden Persian carpets, on both sides are pure white wooden walls, on which are hung a beautiful landscape oil paintings every 3 meters, all of which are themed on Dubai's famous attractions, such as the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab Hotel, Palm Island, etc., and the pure white ceiling is also wooden, on which are hung six ceiling lamps printed with Middle East-style patterns.

While admiring the beautiful landscape oil paintings on both sides, while crossing this luxurious covered bridge, at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that the city of local tyrants is really worthy of its name, and they want to brand you with a deep impression of a local tyrant city from the first moment you step into their territory.

As usual, Xu Xincheng walked a little further back to Lucy's right and walked with her towards the exit.

Although Lucy told him that he didn't have to care about these so-called business etiquette, and that the two of them could walk side by side with her when they were on a business trip together, he still felt that she should go ahead and that this rule still had to be followed.

Every time he walked with her, he walked about 20 centimeters away from her if there were only two of them, and about 50 centimeters away from her if there were more than one person.

At the end of the bridge, a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes in a black professional suit, holding a delicate hotel pick-up sign with his name written on it in both Chinese and English, stood on the right side of the exit with a smile on her face, waiting for them.

He increased his pace, walked three or four steps faster, came to her first, and greeted her with a smile: "Hi, how are you?" I am Steve. It’s nice to meet you.” ("Hi, how are you? I'm Steve.") Nice to see you. ”)

He politely held out his right hand as he spoke.

The lady respectfully shook his hand and greeted him, "Mr. Xu, welcome!" I am Laraine. It’s a great pleasure to meet you. I am the VIP manager of the Amani Hotel, please accept my warmest regards. On behalf of our hotel, I would like to welcome you, and thank you very much for choosing us, for staying with us!” ("Welcome, Mr. Xu!"I'm Laraine.) It was a real pleasure to meet you. I am the VIP manager of Armani Hotel, please accept my warmest greetings. On behalf of our hotel, I would like to welcome you and thank you very much for choosing to stay with us. ”)

“Thank you for receiving us. Please call me Steve.” ("Thank you for coming and picking us up.") Please call me Steve. ”)

Heo introduced Lucy to her, saying, "Laraine, this is Lady Lucy." ("Laraine, this is Lady Lucy.") ”)

Last Friday night, when he was helping Lucy book a room at the West Lake Hotel in Hangzhou, he saw Lucy's date of birth for the first time in the copy of Lucy's ID information obtained from Amanda, and as he had guessed before, she was only 22 years old, and in addition, he knew Lucy's surname for the first time, Li.

In the two months he had known her, he had discovered that Lucy had never mentioned her last name to anyone, and that she was not called by her last name on all occasions, especially formal occasions.

According to the usual custom, everyone should call her Chairman Li, or Miss Li, but everyone only calls her by her English name, and calls her Chairman Lucy, or Lady Lucy.

According to the traditional grammatical rules and standards, this is not a standard way of addressing people. However, modern Chinese and English are very different, and this new way of calling them is perfectly fine, it is more modern, and it is being used by more and more people.

And, more importantly, if you call Lucy Chairman Li, this title is really inconsistent with her young and beautiful image, so it is better to call her Chairman Lucy, if you call Lucy Miss Lucy, it is far from enough, she is more noble and elegant than Lady Diana, Princess Diana of the United Kingdom, so it is more appropriate to call her Lady Lucy.

As an assistant, every time he introduced her to others, he used the titles Chairman Lucy and Lady Lucy.

Lucy shook Laraine's hand cordially and greeted her, "Hi, Laraine, how are you?" ("Hi Laraine, how are you?")

Laraine greeted very respectfully, "Lady Lucy, it's my greatest honor to serve you. Welcome!” ("Lady Lucy, it's my greatest pleasure to serve you.") Welcome!") Her tone and the look on her face were a little more respectful than when she had just welcomed Xu Xincheng, and it was clear that she had already guessed that Lucy's identity must be extraordinary.

Laraine made a standard please gesture and said, "Steve, Lady Lucy, our car is waiting for you, this way, please!" We will need to pass through the customs first. Please follow me.” ("Steve, Lady Lucy, our car is already waiting for you, please! We need to go through customs first, please follow me.") ”)

With that, Laraine politely turned around and led the two of them towards the airport.

After only about two minutes, the trio arrived at Dubai Airport's exclusive entry lane for VIPs.

The exclusive entry passage is a VIP room with the same luxurious decoration, the decoration and layout inside are the same as the luxury corridor just now, the only difference is that there is a very unique and high-tech security inspection machine and an entry inspection service counter.

At the counter, the seated immigration officer is a young Arab man in a white robe with a white bandana with two layers of black bandar on his head.

When the immigration officer saw the two of them enter the VIP room, he immediately stood up and greeted them politely and warmly: "Hi, how are you doing?" Welcome to UAE, welcome to Dubai.” ("Hi, how are you? Welcome to the UAE, welcome to Dubai.") ”)

Xu Xincheng was a little surprised to see that the other party was as enthusiastic and humble as the customer service staff, but after thinking about it, he immediately figured out that this is a VIP room after all, and the tourists who enter through here are either rich or expensive, and they must use the highest standard of etiquette to receive the VIPs who come here.

He returned the same warm greeting and said, "Hi, thank you. We are doing fine. How are you?” ("Hi, thanks!, we're good.") How are you?")

“I am doing great. Thank you!” ("I'm very good.") Thank you!")

There were no other passengers in the lounge, and it only took about a minute for the two to complete the immigration procedures and enter the country smoothly.

When receiving Lucy, like Laraine, the immigration officer's tone and look on his face were a little more respectful than when he received him. Xu Xincheng was very happy in his heart, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

He thought to himself that they should all judge that Lucy, who was a year or two younger than him and dressed more casually and low-key, was the more distinguished guest.

He knew that it would not be difficult for them to make such a judgment. Lucy has always been ahead of the curve when the two of them are walking together, and that alone can be seen. This is how important it is for him to walk respectfully behind her when the two of them are walking, otherwise it is easy to give the wrong impression to others.

It wouldn't be good if someone mistook him for Lucy's peers, or even for a boss or even the boss. Lucy shouldn't care, but he does. He couldn't let that happen, or he would be a very unqualified assistant.

The three of them walked out of the immigration VIP room for about three minutes before arriving at a very luxuriously renovated parking lot.

In fact, this is more like a small super luxury car exhibition center, there are more than 20 luxury cars parked here, although there is no research on famous cars, but he can still see that the most inferior ones here are estimated to be worth half a million dollars, and the best ones, he really can't estimate, in terms of famous cars and luxury cars, he really knows very little.

In addition, the license plate numbers of these cars are very interesting, many of them are only two-digit, such as 20, 33, 66, etc.

Among all the luxury cars, there is one that is particularly eye-catching, it is a golden Rolls-Royce, the whole body of the car is plated with a thick layer of pure gold, the golden light is shining, the flash is a little dazzling, its license plate number is only one digit, 8.

Laraine noticed his curiosity and whispered that these license plate numbers were all auctioned, and in Dubai, the smaller the number, the greater the value, if it is a double digit, the bidding price can reach more than a million dollars, if it is only a single digit, such as the 8 license plate number, it must be at least 10 million dollars, which is much more expensive than the special custom Rolls-Royce.

Xu Xincheng noticed that Lucy was completely unimpressed by everything in front of her, let alone surprised, amazed or admired, there was not even a trace of waves on her face, and she was always quiet and leisurely.

Lucy, of course, couldn't make a fuss, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Well, it's quite interesting." ("Well, that's interesting.") ”)

Although the expression on his face was quite calm, he was still shocked in his heart, and sighed in his heart: "Legend has it that Dubai's local tyrants spend money like dirt, and it really deserves its reputation!"

The trio got into a glossy black Bentley limousine.

After learning that Xu Xincheng was coming to Dubai for the first time, along the way, Laraine was very enthusiastic and professional to introduce him to the development history and current situation of Dubai, as well as the buildings and landscapes along the way. Because of the need to know more about Dubai, he listened carefully all the way and asked questions from time to time that he wanted to know.
